folks from our network and across political aisles were rooting for the nbc crew to be released in syria and prayer chains and all sorts of stuff for ingle and his colleagues and they were released and that was great. i just think it's important that this type of pressure be across the board and not just by one network or certainly one host. and, bill, right now we have a factor exclusive. joining us now on the phone is olivia hammar. she is corporal hammar's mom. and, bill, what would you like to say to mrs. hammar? >> bill: first of all i think that mr. and mrs. hammar were very courageous. they came on to the media no spin, they answer ad the questions honestly and they helped their own cause immeasurablably. i'm just the messenger. and the message was delivered by the corporal's parents who obviously love him very much. and, you know, you can't let your son or daughter rot in a mexican prison. they didn't. they took action. they tried to go through the norm ma'am circles and the media. i wish had you done it earlier we would have had him out earlier. did you it and told the truth and
